A phrase translation (japanese)?

I'm having trouble of a little word I found in the net:

バレタカ (baretaka)

I have no idea what the word is so I hope somebody else does.

I didn't find the word in any dictionary and google translate isn't translating it. A google search revealed that it is an actual word.

Thanks

    It's like "you found me out!" or "you got me!" or "the secret's out!"

    Belie got the answer.

    I will explain the grammatical constraction behind it.

    Bareta ka consists of to words, the verb bareru which means to come out or to leak:

    Ka is a question particle.
